If the first level is above 125 mg/dL, the fasting blood glucose test will be done again (for example, the next day) to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes. A value between 100 and 125 mg/dL indicates pre-diabetes.
Parakeets at Petco, for instance, retail for about $5 to $29, depending on the time of year and species you adopt. For example, a normal scarlet chested parakeet can cost anywhere from $125 to $600, while a rosy Bourke can cost anywhere from $75 to $110; a Rubino female can cost upwards of $800. With so many species on the market, refer to our table below to see what the most popular types cost.
Bird Cages: As a minimum, parakeet cages should be large enough so that the bird's head does not touch the top, its tail does not touch the bottom, and it has enough room for unrestricted movements. Small Parakeet Cages: A cage for a pair of small parakeets should be at least 39x20x32 (100x50x80 cm). Medium and Large Parakeet Cages: A cage for a pair of medium parakeets should be at least 59x32x59 (150x80x150 cm) and bigger still for the larger species.
